Default 12mph click

What is the clicking or clunk noise at 12mph??? It only happens once when I start out. Like something is turning on or testing itself. Its under the hood somewhere. I know the Saturns do an ABS test that sounds sorta similar. Is that what it is???

That is the ABS self check. It is normal, if something were wrong with the ABS system, that is when the light would come on.

I was just kidding around, but loose nuts are prevalent reasons for many automotive problems

I've had a few myself
